Team Sahlen will be testing all 3 of their RX-8 at Mid-Ohio all day next Friday, October 15, 2010. Will and Jay have once again invited the Mazda Community to attend the event. they have taken delivery of the #70 SpeedSource car (won the 2010 24 Hours of Daytona) and the car was looking exceptionally fast yesterday @ Mid-Ohio.
Team Sahlen will be there from 9:00AM-6:00PM, so feel free to come out and see what they are doing to help Mazda repeat as the Manufacturers Champion for the 2011 Grand-Am Rolex GT Series.

I've been giving some consideration to doing this myself, as I'm approaching 89,000 also on my 2nd engine. I think I have an alternator whine too - especially at start-up. Probably just run that until it dies, as I've been spending money like a drunken sailor lately.
Brian, I know you're well over 100,000 now. Did you change your belts and hoses?

Hey I'd figure I'd introduce myself to the Columbus community. I just bought my 8 this past summer. I go to school here at Ohio State and even though the season's winding down hopefully there's some events going on around here.

Hey Brian,
I like the new Bike! Are you still zooming around Columbus?
Well guys, its been a fun long ride, but I'm going to part way with my 8. If anyone is willing to take care of her, please let me know! The car is in excellent shape and runs good. I'm sadden because I treat it like a baby, but it's time for me to move on.

Nice, how much did that set you back? But this is a question to any/everyone- how does your 8 drive in this snow? I have some new all-seasons and I'm starting to slide.. Do snow tires make that much of a diff?
